Im­ran prom­ises to spend more on hu­man de­vel­op­ment, once elected as PM

MUZAFFARABAD —“Once elected as the prime min­is­ter of Pak­istan, I will spend the most amount of funds on hu­man de­vel­op­ment,” he said while ad­dress­ing a rally in here on Wed­nes­day.

Im­ran also pre­sented four key points, which he said, should be im­ple­mented to de­velop Azad Jammu and Kash­mir (AJK). He said ac­cord­ing to his four points, in­clud­ing health and ed­u­ca­tion sec­tors, must be im­proved for the pros­per­ity of the coun­try. “I am aware of the dif­fi­cul­ties that Kash­miris have been fac­ing for years, and I as­sure you that un­like the in­cum­bent prime min­is­ter [Nawaz Sharif], I will bring up the rights of Kash­miris on ev­ery fo­rum,” he said.

Speak­ing about the ba­sic rights of the peo­ple of AJK, the PTI chair­man said, “I will talk about your rights on ev­ery in­ter­na­tional fo­rum, in­clud­ing In­dia.” With the help of Bar­ris­ter Sul­tan Mehmood Chaudhry, Im­ran said, I will es­tab­lish an ac­count­abil­ity body which will launch probe against all cor­rupt of­fi­cials, be it Prime Min­is­ter Nawaz Sharif.

“All in­sti­tu­tions in AJK will be im­proved and made stronger.” he said, while ex­plain­ing that in or­der to purge AJK of cor­rup­tion, its po­lice force will have to be im­proved. “A ‘tiger force’ has been formed to pro­tect women at­tend­ing the Fri­day’s rally and any­one who dares to come closer to our women will not be spared,” he added.
